Review of Something To Believe In (Paperback)

Wow what a great book!
I couldn't wait to read more each time I had to put it down. Suitable for young and old alike. Story was captivating and ending leaves you wanting more. How about a part two? or the rest of the story. Loved it all. Would recommend this to anyone who loves a good, wholesome, love story without all the unnecesary colorful words that some think they need to include, a beautiful story. Would like to see more from this author. She has a real gift for description that makes you actually experience the story with all of your senses.

Review of Antaeus (Paperback)

This book is the life of a teenager attending boarding school.I first bourht this book because the author (Ritchie Gillespie) was both my math and science teacher at an all boy boarding school. Reading the book, I found how I could relate to the character and how Mr. Gillespie could relate to us as students and to the character. Finding myself similar to the character, I enjoyed the book greatly.

Product Description
Struggle, sweat, bleed, fall . . . then rise stronger than before.

Attending a single sex boarding school in Virginia, Lee Mills is a student with powerful charisma. Going to a school where the boys are happy, but the sheep walk funny, Lee and his friends have their share of good times and mischief until a conflict between Lee and his English professor, Dr. Gilder, draws a line between teacher and student, casting the two into an ideological war.

Antaeus is a humorous story of the importance of life lived according to principles, and a demonstration of how even through a seemingly crushing defeat, there is victory for one who remains true to himself.

About the Author
Ritchie Gillespie is a graduate of both Woodbury Forest School and Hampden-Sydney College, two all-male schools. Knowing both the humor and the stress associated with boarding school, Ritchie Gillespie is ale to combine the philosophical narration of Ayn Rand with a dose of irreverent humor.
